Hi people,I've recently bought a new computer and I want to know if the Cd-writer/reader, are able to read/write subcodes, that seem to be necesary to backup SecuROM protected games.Is there anyway to know that, without trying to copy a protected game?

I posted here, but if you think it should be on newbies i wouldn't be offended :bigsmile:

so, if you don't want to copy a game what do you need subchannel data reading / writing for??? and how do you want to test it if not copying something???but maybe you could post here what model your burner is, so maybe the freax here can tell you, if they know your drive?!?greetz,Raz

Although we have the sheep test for "weak sectors" there is no known test I am aware of for correct sub-code reading.I guess the best test is when trying to copy Securom protection titles and seeing if it works.

Most Lite-on and Toshiba drives read it fine. Lite-on writes it fine too. Don't have experience with other burners except an old samsung which also reads/writes it fine.
